A Detroit Jesuit priest may plead guilty today to “secretly recording” teenagers in a locker room. Sadly, he has already pled guilty to sexually assaulting a child in Colorado. The question now is: What will Detroit’s archbishop do to find and help others he may have hurt?

We applaud the six brave women who are suing Bikram Choudhury and his yoga business for sexual assaults. We find the defenses used by Choudhury’s lawyers to be weak, legalistic and hurtful. And we beg others who may have seen, suspected or suffered crimes by Choudhury to come forward, get help, expose wrongdoing, protect others and start healing.

A small minority of sex crimes in 32 southern Illinois counties are ever prosecuted, according to a lengthy, thorough and shocking report by the Belleville News-Democrat. These alarming results should prompt Governor Bruce Rauner to fund and launch an investigation into such sex crimes across the state and recommend remedies to this dangerous injustice.

On Monday, Gary P. Wolken, a serial child predator and defrocked Catholic priest, will walk free from a prison in Bonne Terre Missouri. In his 40s, he’s charismatic, charming, well-educated and well-spoken, so he’ll have plenty of chances to molest again.

Allegations of abuse at an Orthodox school in Kodiak are finally being investigated by church officials. However, a victims’ group is concerned that the untrained investigator looking into these charges will re-traumatize survivors.

Alabama’s highest ranking Catholic official is breaking the national church abuse policy and breaking the trust of parents, parishioners and the public by recklessly, callously and secretly mishandling child sex charges against one of his priests.

A victims’ support group wants officials at an Illinois college to explain and apologize for their decision to let a Catholic priest who was accused of sexually harassing at least three police officers speak last month on campus. Those responsible should be disciplined, the organization says.
